HSBC may order 200,000 iPhones
HSBC Bank could be exchanging their BlackBerry’s for Apple’s iPhones as its preferred mobile device. Which could result in an order for some 200,000 iPhones. I hope they get a discount, but knowing Apple probably not 
“We are actually reviewing iPhones from a HSBC Group perspective…and when I say that, I mean globally,” Brenton Hush, HSBC’s Australia and New Zealand chief information officer, told ZDNet.com.au this week.
HSBC has some 300,000 staff internationally. A decision to standardize on the iPhone on its corporate networks would likely lead to one of the world’s largest iPhone orders.
“A decision on a piece of hardware like that would potentially be deployed, conservatively, to 200,000 people,” Hush said. “You know, it’s a big decision, especially when you have an existing fleet out there.”
“But it’s definitely something we are considering from a HSBC Group perspective,” he said. “We always explore the potential application of new technologies, and this is no different.”
Should HSBC select the iPhone as its official corporate mobile device, the decision would be a major blow to Research In Motion, maker of the BlackBerry, which is HSBC’s current standard staff mobile.
